During theWrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted how Lesnar was supposed to finish up with WWE at Crown Jewel but things clearly changed because of the situation involving Reigns. Originally, Reigns was set to retain the title and Lesnar would then exit WWE to focus on a UFC return.

The new contract was signed by Lesnar somewhere in the last week and it is not exclusive to WWE. That means, Lesnar is able to work for the UFC without having to gets WWE’s blessing.

No word if Lesnar will appear on TV before Survivor Series in two weeks.

The idea for Lesnar vs. Cormier started at UFC 226. After Cormier won the title, Lesnar entered the Octagon and shoved the newly crowned champion. While the match is not officially signed, it has been rumored for the first quarter of 2019 and would serve as Cormier’s retirement bout.
